2016 Honda HR-V 1.5L Petrol · LO66 MHK

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 22 December 2025 at 48,492 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean record across the last five annual tests indicates that the vehicle has been maintained in good condition and has not suffered recurring mechanical or structural failures during the official inspection process. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,850 miles per year. Between December 2021 (32,558 miles) and December 2025 (48,492 miles), the car covered just 15,934 miles. This consistent low-frequency usage suggests light commuting, which typically reduces the wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. However, such low annual mileage can sometimes lead to dry seals or brake components if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. Since the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a physical inspection should focus on components most affected by age rather than high mileage. Inspect the tyres for cracking on the sidewalls due to rot, as rubber degrades regardless of tread depth. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which is common on low-use vehicles. Additionally, examine the underbody for any early signs of corrosion on the exhaust system and mounting points, as the MOT only identifies rust once it reaches a specific failure threshold.
